Swimming Milestone

1000 meters, 35 minutes, no rests.
And I felt I could have gone more so long as I kept to the relaxed, smooth rhythm I had going. Whenever I pushed it for 25 or 50 meters (which felt brilliant, btw) I would sail through the water but my heart rate (and need for air) would climb. The smooth, steady rhythm, on the other hand, wouldn't even leave me panting after the lengths.
I have come to enjoy these sessions so much, but I know what I have to do for the next month and a half: switch my training program emphasis from swimming to running. I have the 10k on May31. So tomorrow night I take my xmas money and buy a new pair of runners and get after it.
